The traditional Japanese artform origami was the creative point of departure for German designer Robin Scholtysik when he designed his new side table for blomus – named Oru. Based on the precise folding of intricate figures out of paper, the table consists of thin, powder-coated, steel sheets which – when put together – create a three-dimensional shape, while cut-out joints reveal important little details, such as opposing radii and delicately curved interfaces.
The construction of Oru is just as smart and simple as its design. The table can be assembled without any tools, and its modest weight adds to its portability, meaning it can fit into almost any corner of the modern home – be it as an up-to-date night stand or a simple coffee table by the sofa. The Oru side table comes in
two different sizes and in both an all-black and a Burnt Metal version and now in a stainless steel matt or polished version.
Upon Request
Founded in 1961 and rooted in the German tradition of exceptional quality and highly skilled craftsmanship, we have built our success on a firm belief in the honesty of materials, the purity of shape, and the necessity of a passionate approach. This has made blomus a leading provider of interior design and accessories to last and be loved for generations to come.
Introducing blomus
Run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in the town of Sundern in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany, we carry the legacy of strong family allegiance and a talent for business, but blomus as a brand also tells the story of a geographical area that was once the home of a thriving steel and coal industry. The family business was established in 1921 as a manufacturer of bicycle parts, and in 1961 we branched out into gifts and design items, locally produced from copper, brass, pewter, and stainless steel. Year 2000 marked another shift in our history, when the name blomus was chosen, and the visionary design brand of today was born.
Times have changed, and the region of North Rhine-Westphalia is no longer the industrial hub for steel production; however, our historic roots still play a vital role, and we continue to be known for our devotion to exquisite quality, a highly innovative approach to product development, and a desire to look beyond the mere aesthetics of a product and view its practical properties as equally important. In combination with an overall design philosophy that expresses simplicity and an uncompromising approach to colour, shape, and choice of material, this has positioned us as a strong player on the international design scene.
